A
welcome Message
Ø On behalf of Chuka University family, I take this opportunity to welcome you, our new students, to the University and in particular to the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Technology of Chuka University.I congratulate all of you for your brilliance. You are all very intelligent having qualified to this very high ranking Faculty, FSET. You are actually a top cream of Kenyan intellectuals.
Ø The faculty provides high quality education based on modern scientific teaching and research techniques and aims to produce highly trained scientists in the various disciplines to meet the ever-growing challenges of a dynamic world in the pure sciences and to offer practical solutions to problems affecting humanity in applied sciences.
Ø The faculty provides you many opportunities to develop your skills, abilities, and talents as well as engage in learning through our academic and co-curricular programs. This will be the best time in your life to learn great things and ask big questions. Please take advantage of this time to benefit to the fullest.
Faculty Organization:
Ø The
Faculty comprises of three (3) Departments with their respective Chair of
Departments (CODS)namely:
Physical Sciences - Prof. Ochieng Ombaka,
Computer Science & ICT - Dr. David
Gitonga Mwathi
Biological Sciences - Dr. Eunice Githae
Visit the Departmental links for more details, in particular, on course/unit allocation for each of your enrolled programmes.
Ø Of the three Departments, Physical Sciences is
further organized in the following Sections,
with each Section having a Section head.
(a) Section of Mathematics, Statistics and
Actuarial Science
(b) Section
of Chemistry
(c) Section
of Physics
(d) Section of Engineering
(e) Section
of Biomedical Sciences
(f) Section of Biochemistry
Faculty Prospects
Ø The faculty is upbeat in the continued enrolment of thousands of students. We attribute this to the Faculty’s great effort in developing new market-driven programmes like Actuarial Science, Electrical and Electronics Engineering and Industrial Chemistry among others, which have attracted the highest recorded number of students. More other prestigious programmes such as BSc. Analytical Chemistry, BSc. Financial Mathematics, Bachelors in Business Information & Technology, BSc. Medical Laboratory Technology, BSc. Aeronautical Engineering, BSc Architectural Engineering, BSc. Civil Engineering among others are underway.
Ø Staffing
level in the faculty has immensely improved with a very high cadre staff in all
disciplines including upto full professorship. This will go a long way in
improving service delivery, and student to staff ratio.
Ø The faculty produces outstanding scholars, researchers and specialists, who contribute innovatively to the development and well-being of humanity.
Ø The evolution of knowledge and skills through technology is more rapid than ever before. To embrace this, the University has purchased state of the Art science equipment that has enabled staff and students to carry out innovative research. (See the FSET EQUIPMENT INVENTORY Link).
The
setting up and completion of the Ksh.3
billion Science Park will be a phenomenal achievement for our scientists
who will have extensive resources for research. It will house several labs,
workshops, and incubation centers for enhancing further research in different
areas to come up with new market products. It will be a game changer in arena
of science in Kenya and in the world.
Conclusion:
Ø Make wise choices: The University experience will impact heavily on your life because you will enjoy the fruits of your good judgments if you made good choices. You will also find yourself regretting dearly because of the consequences of your bad choices or mistakes. Please take care so that you won’t have to regret!
Your success journey in this field calls for a disciplined, hardworking and creative/innovative mind set. This is a mind with an ambition for mastery of major skills in life (including talent and intellectual growth). This is the mind that seeks to become an employer rather than an employee.
On our part as the Faculty of Science, Engineering & Technology, we will strive to provide you with a variety of possibilities for growth and learning. The Faculty has indeed to put in place the necessary facilities in order to facilitate your personal development and comfort and will continue improving on this.
Thank you.
God bless you. God bless Chuka University.
